Steel Valley
$15.00
By Michael Adams
Steel Valley is poetry that illuminates the soul's travelogue. You can feel with all senses the steel wheels of Mike Adams' Pennsylvania steel mill and railroad boyhood pulse in every work; his clear, generous breaths open the heart to the wide expanse of the poet writing down his life...It is hard to find a geography worth its weight in memory that doesn't resonate with the blood and spirit of its inhabitants. Steel Valley is fine writing, epic and intimate. --John Macker
